Please note: The vinyl material of the LP record is UV sensitive and susceptible to heat damage. Exposure to direct sunlight will cause the LP record to warp / contort. The clock must be installed on a wall away from direct sunlight and heat. Also, since the hands of the clock are exposed, please do not place the clock flat on its face or touch the hands. Doing so may bend the hands and impair the natural motion of the clock.

Indian cinema is set to complete 100 years of its existence next year – 2013 will be the centennial year for Bollywood. As a dedication to 100 years of Indian cinema, Indian Hippy has singled out original, vintage Bollywood vinyl LP records featuring the best Hindi songs of all time, and transformed them into colorful hand painted vinyl art clocks.
Back in the days, these Bollywood vinyl LP records were bestsellers and contained some of the greatest Bollywood songs ever. Reborn in a fresh avatar as hand painted vinyl art clocks, these vintage Bollywood LP records have been given a new lease of life.
The old Bollywood vinyl records that these clocks have been made from are either 33 ½ or 45 RPM 12” Long Play vinyls dating back to the 1960s. Vintage Bollywood vinyl records surviving today have very little play value, primarily because of scratches and dust that accumulate over several decades they have been around for. Hence, if played on a gramophone or a turntable, they tend to skip.
Indian vinyl records also pose a risk to the environment as the vinyl material they are made of is non-biodegradable. Thousands of broken vinyl records find their way into landfills each year and end up clogging and harming the environment. By converting these old Bollywood records into not just beautiful works of hand painted vinyl art, but actual functional clocks that serve a purpose, Indian Hippy aims to promote the message of “recycle and reuse” with a Bollywood twist!
